A lovely walk along the Gap balconies. From the Lac des Jaussauds picnic area, the route descends along the route of the old (and never completed) Gap–La Mure railway line, including a crossing of the Buzon viaduct, recently converted into a cycle route.It then climbs back up to the Réserve des Manes, passes the Peyre Ossel boulder, and follows the Canal de Gap to the Réserve Georges Serres, offering beautiful panoramic views of the Gap region.

Magnificent views of the Gapençais region and picturesque paths through woods and fields round off this pleasant route.

Departure from Agnières-en-Dévoluy (Hautes-Alpes)
The easiest route to explore the Bure massif in summer, ascending via the ski resort’s chairlifts (open one day a week in July and August only). The plateau offers a lunar landscape with the observatory’s satellite dishes, and in clear weather, the view from the Pic de Bure is extraordinary.
The route is described here starting from La Joue du Loup, but there is a similar route starting from SuperDévoluy. Please note: this route is only accessible during the summer opening period of the ski lifts!
